Thoresby Hall and Park was the subject of the illustrated talk presented to members of the Edwinstowe Historical Society at a recent meeting.  Thoresby was one of the 5 noble estates in the area which became known as the Dukeries.  The Pierrepont family originally came over with William 1 in 1066, and the first Earl purchased the land from the Crown in 1633 to form Thoresby Park. The present building is the third home to be built there, and after changing hands several times finally became an hotel.  The Royal Lancers and Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Museum is based in the courtyard at Thoresby Hall.

Shirley Moore, Chair of the Edwinstowe Historical Society, reported that plans were in hand to place blue plaques on two buildings in the village. Information relating to Pageants and Village Celebrations had been added to the Website.
